RE: Notice of Decision - Site Plan Review (Project No. 13-0156),
Dear Mr. Bustamante:
Arn Eggert, (Planning Director
Planning Division
Phone: (661) 326-3733
FAX: (661) 8522136
The Planning Director, upon recommendation of the Site Plain Review Committee,
has approved your plans to construct a 4,641 square foot addition to a medical office
building in an M-1 (Light Manufacturing Zone) district at 1215 341h Street.
Your proposal, with corrections as noted, meets the minimum required codes,
policies and standards for development as adopted by the Bakersfield City Council.
Specific items have been identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you
need to resolve before you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy.
These items may include changes or additions that need to be shown on the final building
plans, alert you to specific fees, and/or are comments that will help you in complying with
the city's development standards. Each item will note when it is to be completed and
they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you have
questions.
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your
project, or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must
submit final building plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will
review these final plans while buildings plan check occurs, to ensure that you satisfy the
items in the Site Plan Compliance List. Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an
item may delay your obtaining a building permit or commencing your project.
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the
Building Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved
plans, and any other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the
requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy; of not, the area
inspector will give you a correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections,
the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy a
development untill the Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.

In consideration by the City of Bakersfield for land use entitlements, including but
not limited to related environmental approvals related to or arising from this project, the
applicant, and/or property owner and/or subdivider ("Applicant" herein) agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City of Bakersfield, its officers, agents,
employees, departments, commissioners and boards ("City " herein) against any and all
liability, claims, actions, causes of actions or demands whatsoever against them, or any of
them, before administrative or judicial tribunals of any kind whatsoever, in any way arising
from, the terms, and provisions of this application, including without limitation any CEQA
approval or any related development approvals or conditions whether imposed by the
City, or not, except for City's sole active negligence or willful misconduct.
This indemnification condon does not prevent the Applicant from challenging any
decision by the City related to this project and the obligations of this condition apply
regardless of whether any other permits or entitlements are issued.
The City will promptly notify Applicant of any such claim, action, or proceeding,
failing under this condition within thirty (30) days of actually receiving such claim. The City,
in its sole discretion, shall be allowed to choose the attorney or outside low firm to defend
the City at the sole cost and expense of the Applicant and the City is not obligated to use
any law firm or attorney chosen by another entity or party.
Any time after site plan approval but before the approval expires you may submit
revisions to the plan. We will treat these revisions as a new site plan application subject to
a new review andl required fees. The Planning Director can only approve minor changes
to the original plan without a new application if they are necessary to meet a condition,
mitigation, or result from physical obstacles or other comparable constraints.
� � , , m z
Approval of this site plan expires on May 2, 2015 (2 years from the decision date),
unless building permits have been issued, or on projects not requiring a building permit,
the use has commenced. The project must be completed within 5 years from the decision
date, If the property is rezoned, site plan approval will expire upon the effective date for
the rezoning unless the use is permitted in the new zone.
The Planning Director may extend the expiration date up to one (1) year if you
resubmit new plans for check against the code requirements in effect at that time and
include a wCttten request for the extension. We must receive this request before expiration
of the project approval. We will not require a fee for this extension request; however,
changes to the plans originally approved for purposes other than code requirements shall
be subject to a new site plan review, including payment of all required fees.
This site plan review has been found to be exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Qualify Act (CE QA) according to Section 15332. This project is
exempt because it is an infill development that is consistent with the general plan and
SPR# 13-0156 Page, 3 of 10
zoning regul�ations, is within an area predominantly developed with urban uses, is not
identified as critical habitat for endangered or threatened species, will not significantly
affect traffic inoiise, air or water quality, and will be adequately served by appropriate
utilities and public services. A Notice of Exemption has been prepared and is available for
review at the Planning Division (see coiver sheet for address)l.
APPEAL
Any person may appeal thiis decision. An appeal is limited to whether or not an
adopted development standard�, zoning regulation, mitigation, or policy applied or not
applied to the project, was done consistent with thei authority granted by city ordinances
or the California Environmentd Quality Act (CEQA). The appeal must be in writing sta'ting
the precise basis or issue as noted, include a $700 filing fee, and must be filed within 10
4pys of the decision date to the City of Bakersfield Planning Commission (c/o Bakersfield
Planning Director, 1715 Chester Avenue, Bakersfield, C�A, 93301). The Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing on the appeal and their decision will be final unless their decision
is appealed to the City Council.
Site plan approval is based on the statements made in the application and the
plans you submitted. Any errors or om ssions on these plans could alter the compliance list
and/or void this decision. If you have questions about any of the items noted in the Site
Plan Compliance List, you must speak to the contact person representing the department
requiring that item. If you have other questions regarding general information about the
site plan review process, please contact the Planning Division at (661) 3,26-3733.

�Internal building unit addresses will be only by suite number and will be the
responsibility of the owner or developer to assign to each tenant.
(it is recommended that you assign suite numbers beginning with 100, 200,
300 etc. instead of an alphabetic character. If in the future a tenant space
were split, you would then be able to assign a suite number bietween the
existing numbers, which would keep your suites in numerical order. Keeping
an orderly numbering system will make it easier for customers, emergency
personne/, and mail delivery to find the business).
